Title: Front Brakes
Post by Krowl on 04/18/12 at 07:20:00

I just have a quick question for the savage experts out there. What front brake pads do you guys use on this bike. I put pads on a year ago and need them again. (Bike was stored in the winter so I did not ride much)
Just looking for a good brand that will last a little longer.
:P

Cheap bay of fleas generally made of kevlar

"X" brand is best.

what did you use before and what mileage?

I've been using these ceramic pads with no complaints at all. I have not tried kevlar pads yet though.

Ceramic vs Kevlar Brake Pads (http://www.ehow.com/about_5519863_ceramic-vs-kevlar-brake-pads.html)

Above is an eHow article on the main differences between ceramic and kevlar pads. Upon reading several more articles, the main addition to the one above is that ceramic pads are more costly but last longer.
